Chapter 171: Let’s Start As Friends!

My answer reverberated within Scarlet’s ears, for a moment her mind went blank, as she never expected such a fast forward rejection, her mana started to go at rampage while her eyes seemed to turn dark and lifeless

A feeling of heaviness I never felt was coming from her, seeing her reaction I ‘panicked’, as I held her hands which was intertwined with mine, holding it tightly I pulled Scarlet’s face towards mine as I shouted

“Scarlet break out of it!, what I meant was that I can’t be your lover with you right now, the reason being that I don’t know much about you but that doesn’t mean that it won’t happen in the future!”

My words seemed to have calmed her down, as the light within her eyes seemed to return, her face turned a bit confused as she looked at me

“What do you mean?”

She asked with a meek voice as she looked at me, I sighed inwardly as the gamble I took paid off, smiling ‘wryly’, I looked at her with a bit of ‘grievance’ as I spoke

“What I meant as no was not that I completely reject you, I mean you are a beautiful and a powerful woman and if you ask me if I like you I would say yes”

Hearing me call her beautiful caused Scarlet to blush and smile with happiness, which kind of weirded me out, just a moment ago she was as if she was about to destroy the world but now she looked just like an innocent little girl

‘Sigh….why can’t there be any normal girls around me?’

Though i was lamenting on the inside, on the outside I was completely serious as I looked into Scarlet’s eyes and continued to speak

“Look Scarlet what I meant was that I know Kevin but do I know Scarlet?, no, I just saw you as a very important friend of mine, I mean I just found out you are a girl and you just suddenly dropped this issue on me”

“Truthfully I am very happy and excited that you have such feelings for me but now I just think of you as a friends and if you ask me if I am interested in you then yes, I think that you are a lovely lady”

Saying so I held Scarlet’s face as I smile came to my face, she looked at me with a pout and a pink blush on her face, her golden eyes seemed to be dodging mine, holding her face to look at mine, I spoke

“Scarlet if I accepted your proposal then I would be lying to myself, and worse to you, so I just want us to first start to get to know eash other better, how about going on a dates and trips and slowly we will get to know better about each other and from there we would deal with things, how about it?”

There was silence on top the tower I sat, my eyes never left Scarlet’s as I kept portraying my feelings to her, Scarlet’s eyes narrowed as she looked into mine, she did this for a minute before she finally broke out into a smile

“Sure lets do what you say, you are right you do only know Kevin but not Scarlet and I will make sure that that you know all about me while I know all about you but get this!”

Scarlet said as she extended her forefinger and placed it at my heart, with an extending smile she continued

“I will definitely make you fall for me!”

There was absolute confidence and anticipation in her voice, causing my heartbeat to rise again and I am sure that she felt it as a smile came up to her face but who was I?, how could I let her easily get one ahead of me?, I caught the hand that was on my chest as I gave it a loving kiss, after which I turned to the blushing Scarlet I spoke

“Then I await that day….”

“Humph, you won’t have to wait long”

With that Scarlet teleported away, running away in embarrassment, I couldn’t help but find her action very cute, at times she acts very straightforward but just one move from me would make her an embarrassing mess, it was very contradictory, I chuckled as I looked at the sun that had set

“Sigh…..so system what did she do to me?”

My question might seen random and Scarlet might have being sneaky but if there’s one thing that I learned from dealing with these type of girls is that you can’t never be too careful

[She totally placed 3 spells on you host]

‘I knew it’

“What are they?”

[The first one would make you impotent]

“….”

[You won’t be able to feel exited if you are not with Scarlet]

“….”

[The second spell lets her know about all the girls that you interact with and it will send some sort of signal if you get very touchy with any other girl]

Completely avoiding my silence the system continued to dish hits after hits

[As for the third one….]

‘”Out with it, I can take it….maybe”

[It is a spell that would monitor if you are in any type of danger and protect you if necessary]

‘But?…..’

I didn’t think for a second that such a good spell by Scarlet won’t have it’s own drawback

[Well…it will monitor you 24/7]

Hearing the last words I caught my forehead in expiration

‘Thankfully those spell won’t work on me, right?’

[Yes host thanks to your bloodline those type of spell wont work on you and Scarlet must have know it too, yet she tried in hope]

“Wow, I really have a loving girl don’t you think?”

[Well if you call that love, I don’t know what obsession is]

The system gave me sarcastic reply, well it was not like I was expecting some sort of support, I was already used to it’s sassy ways, anyhow in a nutshell I had already dealt with scarlet and have already paved a good way forward…..to keep my life, it was when I was doubting my life’s choice the system spoke

[Host I have a question?]

“Oh?, ask away”

[What are you going to do at the end?]

I remained silent, while the question might not be clear I understood it clearly, there was silence for several seconds before I spoke

“Truthfully I don’t know, I am just going with the flow for now, well it’s not like all those girls might go out on an all out war for me right?”

“Right…?”

“…..”

“Fuck…..”
